Classic Beauty: Odete Lara

And at last we can look at Brazilian actress Odete Lara, who appeared in over three dozen Brazilian movies — and absolutely none out of Hollywood, which is why most of us have never heard of her.

And she also cut more than a few record albums, so the lady could sing.

Magnificent.

Change Agent

…or, “Why are we continuing to act like the Cold War is still a thing?”

Four score years ago, the United States brought forth a new economic system, dedicated to the proposition that we would rebuild the world from the wreckage of the Second World War and stand athwart communism. For 40 years, that system worked. Germany and Japan, economically devastated, got rebuilt. In return, the United States accepted persistent trade deficits and the gradual hollowing out of our manufacturing base. The logic was coherent: we needed these allies secure and prosperous.

Then the logic expired in 1989, but we never stopped. For the past 30 years, we’ve been running the same policy for no reason at all. That’s the mistake.

See how Trump is undoing the years of economic mismanagement by the U.S. government.

If he (and his successors) can pull this off, it will be one of the most consequential (and beneficial) acts ever to grace this nation.

More Knife Stories

Reader Blackwing1 had some good things to say about his Leatherman CS4 Juice:

…and I must say it looks good for an everyday carry (EDC) function;  but it does lack a whole bunch of SHTF gear, which was the premise of the original post.

Unfortunately, I just can’t get past the fact that Tim Leatherman voted for Fuckface Kerry, back in the day.  So I’m reluctant to buy any LM products — and yes I know, it’s ancient news, but there it is.  (According to him, he’s not anti-gun — “I own a rifle and a shotgun” — but the fact that he was prepared to vote for Anti-Gun Fuckface really sticks in my craw.)

I was once given a Leatherman tool as a Christmas present, and I passed it on to someone else as soon as the occasion arose.

Feel free to take issue with me.

Dept. Of Righteous Shootings

So this “teenager” decides to do a little amateur income redistribution, choosing some guy at random and then pulling a gun on the intended victim.

Whereupon said intended victim pulls his own gun and pops a quickie into the teenager’s chest, sending him towards an early grave.

This used to be an uncommon occurrence in Chicago, until the Supremes dragged the city (and its surrounding state) kicking and screaming into compliance with the Second Amendment.  Now it’s becoming a fairly common experience to find a choirboy with a ventilated corpse, with a righteous citizen standing over him with a smoking gun.  ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪♫ ♪ ♫ ♪

However:  let’s just hope that the Chicago PD and the Soros-backed filth in the DA’s office decide not to go after Our Hero for doing the Right Thing.  Can’t say they won’t, though, because Chicago.

Sorry to end this happy news on a bummer note, but there it is.

Soros delenda est.
